The Trading Card Game inspired by the League of Legends universe finally has an official name. Dropping the moniker of “Project K”, the game is set to be released under the title: “Riftbound: The League of Legends Trading Card Game.”
“Creating a new game gave us the opportunity to design multi-player gaming from the ground up. If you like teaming up with a friend to play 2V2s, we got you. Or if you just want to have some good old chaotic fun in a free for all, we definitely got you.” said Riftbound Executive Producer, Chengran Chai in the game’s most recent announcement video.
Since the initial announcement of the game last year, the game saw a redesign due to immense feedback about the card’s art which prompted developers to go back to the drawing board, literally, redesigning cards and a refining design decisions for the upcoming TCG.
Riftbound is set to release with it’s first set, Origins with over 300 different cards, and pre-constructed decks for Jinx, Victor and Lee Sin with a “Legend” rare cards illustrated by Riot Games’ artists.

It’s gonna be mega! Like every project of theirs. I just hope it’s gonna be a more innovative form of gameplay than hearthstone or mtg, I’d prefer something like legends of elysium, where they nicely combined a card game with a board game. Nevertheless, I’m waiting for the premiere and I’ll definitely play!
